New Outlet Mall Open In Iowa

When we write these blog entries, there are a few things that do really well with our readers. One is food. Opening or closings of new restaurants do well. Two is anything to do with coffee. Third is retail news. Stores opening or closing also do well.

Well, here is a post about a new retail option. I've been to the outlets in Williamsburg once. I remember walking into the Coach store and being to afraid to touch anything.

According to KWQC, there's a new shopping opportunity in Altoona, IA. As if going to Adventureland wasn't enough (and don't forget a trip to Bass Pro Shop), now comes a 300,000 square foot outlet mall, just in time for the Christmas season.

Stores in the outlet include:

Asics

Auntie Anne’s

Bath & Body Works

Book Warehouse

Brooks Brothers

Brow Beauty

Carter’s Babies and Kids

Charleys Philly Steaks

Converse

Direct Tools Outlet

Express Factory Outlet

Famous Footwear Outlet

Fragrance Outlet

francesca’s

GNC

Kay Jewelers Outlet

Kitchen Collection

Lane Bryant Outlet

Le Creuset

Levi’s Outlet

Lids

Loft Outlet

maurices

Nike Factory Store

OshKosh B’gosh

Rack Room Shoes

Skechers

Teriyaki Boys

Tommy Hilfiger

Torrid

Toys R Us

Under Armour

Vera Bradley

VF Outlet

Yankee Candle

Zales Outlet

In a time and age where malls are becoming extinct due to cyber shopping, I hope this mall does well. I don't see a Coach store on the list so I'm safe to go there, but a Kay Jewelers Outlet...fellas...beware.
